More photos, interview, and a video at 'Interview'…
Kellan Lutz displays his wares for 'Interview' magazine and talks about growing up on the farm:
"Iowa is where the big farm was, where my grandparents lived. After my parents divorced, we would visit them. My mom would send me out to the pigpen, where we had these huge, huge pigs. I would stand there for six hours holding a hose, watering pigs. They'd dive in the mud and shake it off, and I'd go home covered in it. I loved the whole thing of getting wet and dirty and then getting in a warm bath."
And getting discovered at Abercrombie & Fitch:
"I believe my personality helped, because I was the worst folder. I just couldn't care to do it. I felt like I had ADD. I would just goof around and shoot rubber bands everywhere. Somehow the manager didn't fire me, and I became a greeter, when you have to stand outside, you know, topless, and kind of finagle people into the store. Then Abercrombie had an audition, and my agency sent me out. I met Bruce Weber, and they chose me. I wasn't the strongest, most fit, best-looking guy on that shoot, but somehow Bruce put me on the cover. I was just lying on the grass playing with this beetle, and they used that shot."
Two more shots, AFTER THE JUMP…
